If one method were to be banned, it probably should be mooching. I don't endorse this, but in mooching salmon can tend to take the bait deeper into their mouth, whereas trolling with lures on downriggers, they don't. It would further minimize injuries to the released salmon but hard to quantify. If we banned bait for salmon in saltwater, a lot more baitfish would be allowed to provide natural food for the endangered species. I'm only chiming in with my two cents worth here, not suggesting it. The charter fleet would be harmed with a bait ban.
